Directions

Serving Size: About 18 biscuits

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in large mixing bowl.
  • Cut in shortening with pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly.
  • Add buttermilk, all at once to dry ingredients, stirring with a fork until soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead gently 8 to 10 times.
  • Roll or pat dough to ¾” (2 cm) thickness. Cut with floured 1¾” (4 cm) round cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet close together for soft-sided biscuits or 1” (2.5 cm) apart for crusty-sided biscuits.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until light golden. Serve warm with butter and your favourite Smucker’s® Jam or Jelly.
